Black + White = Gray (part 3)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, April 28, 2018
And so we're finally here. The magnificent, ever so popular and edgy Gray characters are the object of our observation today!
Gray characters are those that sit on the fence, being not quite white and not quite black, and this ever walking the tightrope of the narrative's morality ...

Welcome to a stream of consciousness.
There are times, more than we might like to admit, when we encounter the chasm of blank thought that is writer’s block. So often in fact, that there are countless books, articles and videos on how to get around it; to spark your ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 17, 2018
Earlier today Ozoneocean made a pretty interesting post at Facebook, regarding how demons are depicted in modern culture as opposed to how they were earlier, and especially what they symbolized in western culture: they are now generally depicted as sexy, good, glittering, or misunderstood.
